I've got a Navy Arms Zouave. The hammer, when dropped, falls a bit to the side of the nipple. It comes to rest over it, but it seems wrong. The hammer is moved a bit outwards as it lands. Is this acceptable? If not, is there anything that can be done about it? Should the hammer fall centered upon the nipple, and how much does it matter if the gun goes bang regardless? Seems like it could stress the lock parts. Then again, perhaps on a military rifle the idea is to split the cap.
Thanks,
Sam
